Departing Salt Lake City
Appearing similar to Union Pacific passenger train No. 104, the "City of Los Angeles", an ILACB 22 officer special departs the UP passenger station in Salt Lake City, Utah with 12 cars the morning of August 23, 1993.
Leading the train were a trio of Paducah, Kentucky rebuilt E-units, repowered with GP38-2 prime movers, making them essentially "E38-2" locos, although nobody wanted to called them that.
The trio suffered power troubles climbing the grade through Weber Canyon east of Ogden that day, and were required to make several stops and tinker with the prime movers.
